Voltage
Take care: Gabon uses higher voltage than Kyrgyzstan
Your electric devices from Kyrgyzstan will be expecting 0 Volts, but Gabon grid is of 220 Volts, this is a substantial difference that requires you to take some extra steps in preparation to your trip:
On the positive side, nowadays many devices will switch automatically to the network voltage and they will work just fine, i.e. mobile phone chargers are typically multi-voltage (but please, do actually check your own). It is important that you pay attention to your device's voltage. Connecting electronics to the wrong voltage, in the luckiest of the cases, the device will break or stop working temporarily; but please don't take this lightly, in the worst of the cases electrocution and fire hazards are a real possibility.
High-power devices don't usually handle different voltages due to the high-currents involved i.e. anything that its main purpose involves generating heat (or cold) like hair driers, baby bottle warmers, kettles, etc. On the contrary, modern low-power devices are likely to auto-detect and auto-adapt to different voltages i.e. usb chargers, laptop chargers, etc.
You will need a step down voltage converter a device that can be plugged to 220 volts and it provides an outlet with 0 volts for your Kyrgyzstan' device. You will need to pay attention to the maximum power output of the converter and the maximum power consumption of the device.
Plugs Type
Same connectors
Ideal situation, all the connectors used in Kyrgyzstan are also used in Gabon. You will not need any adapter (but please check voltages and the other sections of this report). Congratulations!!!!
Adapters
You are lucky, you don't need an adapter.
Adapters you can buy
You can buy the following multi-purpose adapters from Amazon. Please also take a look at the recommended gadgets for your trip.
Hertz
No equal Hertz
This is not a big issue. Unless you are using an electric alarm clock or some motors when speed is an issue. Explanation: Some alarm clocks uses the frequency of electricity network to measure time. So, time shifts could be experimented. Almost every home electronic device works perfectly with different Hertz.
